Moorestown police officer dies after losing control of motorcycle, getting hit by truck

MOORESTOWN — A police officer died Saturday when he lost control of his motorcycle and was then struck by a truck driven by an investigator with the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, according to 6ABC.

The incident occurred shortly after 10 p.m., when 52-year-old Craig Berner was driving a Honda motorcycle in the eastbound lane on County Road 614. For reasons unknown, he lost control and was ejected into the westbound lanes, where he was hit by a Ford F-150, driven by 60-year-old William McGovern.

The investigation has been transferred to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, due to McGovern's employment as an investigator for the Burlington County prosecutor.
